Love The Potting Shed, however our table was near a family who's kids were making an excessiveamount of noise which impacted my enjoyment and ability to even hear conversion at my own table. Also, would be great to have a couple of additional vegetarian options as there was only one. The online menu was slightly different to what was on offer at the restaurant. I understand the themes and changing menu items accordingly, however this should be noted online so people know what is actually available might be different.

It was lovely to return one of Sydney’s icon restaurants. The family feel, quality of cooking and efficient, friendly staff make you feel right at home. As we expected a great range of fresh seafood was on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed. Nice to see a cocktail list added to the drinks menu and the very underrated Doyle’s wines and beer are still available. Add in the wonderful location, novel ferry ride to get there and the views, made a lunch a great occasion for the family. We won’t wait so long to return next time. Cheers, Rob S.

What a lovely surprise outstanding in every way. Food beautiful quality, different than the general restaurant menu, delicious and so well presented. Staff very attentive, overall very pleasant experience. We were seated in a private area which worked well for us . There is a roof top bar section for those who like a party atmosphere.
